Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
A divine missile-weapon associated with Brahmā (and other gods) used by Indrajit to bind Hanūmān.
"Even if Indrajit deploys his terrible divine weapons in battle — those of Brahmā, Indra, Rudra, Vāyu, and Varuṇa — I shall repel them all and slay the rākṣasas.
"But he bound me with a Brahmā weapon with great speed;
Then Saumitri, whose valour matches Indra's, hearing the words of Vāyu, instantly took up an arrow of unfailing speed and charged it at once with that Brāhma weapon.
